Practice With Repeating Rifles.

The company l saw had but little prac.
tice, and were getting reprimands from
half dozen officers standing beside tho
drill sergeant for the slowness of theii
movements but to a non military eye
nothing could be more machine like,
says Metz letter to the London Pal
Mall Gazette. The repeating rifle differs
from the ordinary rifle in the fact that the
stock, instead of stopping short where it
it is grasped by the left hand, is prolonged
to within an inch of the end of the bar
rel. This constitutes the reservoir of
cartridges. The firing consists of three
movements-the ready during which
each man gives sharp turn to the right
to little lever above the lock of his gun,
and the familiar 'presentn and ''iiren
The company stood four deep, the two
front ranks firing while the two rear
ranks recharged their magazines. So
rapid were the movements that the mag
azine, holding ten or twelve cartridges,
forgot which, was emptied, with per-
ceptible allowance each time for rapid
aim, in ten seconds. The thought Of
what would happen to any body of men
exposed to half minute of firing like this
made the spectacle most appalling. A
stolid looking German by my side, who,
as l afterward learned, had been of the
landwehr in the war, expressed his feel
ing in one words "Schauderhaftr ~ terri

Useful Hints.

Use warm knife in cutting bread and
the like.
Iron rust is removed by salt mixed with
lemon juice.
Egg shells crushed and shaken in glass
bottles half filed with water will clean
them easily.
The luster of morocco may be restored
by vanishing it with the white of an
egg. Apply with a sponge.
Soap is often wasted on paint. A lit
tie ammonia in the cleaning water, OF
whiting on damp cloth will clean wood
much easier, and leave no yellow stain to
tell of its abuse.
Saleratus is excellent for removing
grease from woodwork which has not
been painted Spread thickly over the
grease spots, moisten, and after it has
remained a half hour wash off with tepid
soap suds.

1t has been said that the hurts suffered
in pugilism are particularly severe, and
that few pains equal the pain resulting
from blow Of the fist squarely and
forcibly delivered upon the nose, An
incident which goes to support this ale
cation, is reported from Paris. a lion
tanner, in one of the Boulevard shows,
was set upon by powerful and irritable
old lion, whose cage he had entered, ac-
cording to habit, in the course of an en-
tertainment. The beast made his attack
without warning or particular cause, and
in an instant the man was upon his back,
between the lions paws. The spectators
screamed, thinking it was the end of the
lion tanner, but, like a flash, he was upon
his feet, and striking out with his right,
in accurate pugilistic style, landed his
fist upon the lions nose, with spat that
was heard all over the place. The lion
wheezed and sneeZed and backed away,
shaking his head and shutting his eyes
as if dazed, while the man stepped
quickly, but with dignity, out of the
cage The blow was a good one, and If
it had fallen upon man would, undoubt-
edly have knocked him out" Evil

spot where it was delivered TO the tip of

Spirits of the Mines.

It is a very old fancy says the Phiadel-
phia call that mines are inhabited by
spirits, who are jealous of their treasures
and of a very resentful character. In
early days these spirits assumed the forms
of serpents, especially in Egyptian le-
gends, and to such an extent that they
were regarded as the gods Of metals, the
most famous being Hoa, the serpent god
of Chaldea, master of all wisdom and
guardian Of the treasures of the mines.
The belief that evil spirits guard the
treasures of the emerald mines is as com
mon among the Peruvians as it was
among the Scythians in the time Of
Plny. In Sardinia the ancient silver
mines are rarely entered from dread of a
venomous spider called the solifUgd, so
named from avoiding the sun. Their bite
was considered fatal The traditions are
unworthy of belief, but no doubt such a
spider was found in the silver mines, for
Agricola mentions the fact and gave them
the name Of iacJeqa.

Queer Names of Post Offices.

have been looking over the list of 90,
143 post offices in the United States and
find some very funny names. If we wish
to create a man out of the names, we
will find Blood in Kentucky and Meat
and Bone in North Carolina. If we pre-
fer getting portions of the body com
plete, we have an Eye in North Carolina,
Mouth in Oregon, Foot in Tennessee,
Leg, Shinbone and Head in Alabama,
Breast in Missouri, Hand in Dakota,
Finger in Mississippi and Knee in
California. To clothe the man, we will
get Hat in Georgia, Pants in North
Carolina, Coat in Ohio, and Moccasin in
Illinois. If the man don't want to wear
moccasins he will have to go barefooted,
as there is no boot or shoe on the list,
although there is a Shoemaker in Cali
fornia and Shoeheel in North Carolina.
If we had created women instead of a
man she would have been compelled to
go almost naked, for the only article of
female apparel to be found on the list is
Bonnet in South Carolina. For food,
the man can have an Oyster, Bread,
Coffee, Sugar, Rabbit, Hash, and, if he is
not teetotaler, can take a Drop in Texas.
In fact, he will find anything he needs
on the list, and when his wants are
ended there is Coffin waiting for him in

Death ON a Sweet Tooth.

A medical plant is found in India
which destroys the power of tasting
sugar. This plant, the gymnema sylves-
tire, grows in the Deccan and in the Assam
and on the Coromondel coast. BY chew
ing two or three leaves of it a person may
eXtinguish his susceptibility TO sweet
savors. Morbid cravings for sweetmeats
that iniure indigestion may thus be cor
rected. As the gymnema is said, also to
diminish the power of enjoying a cigar,
great benefit may probably be derived
from it by imtemperate smokers. Candy
and cigarettes being the bane Of the
small boy, prudent parents may be eN-
pected to stock themselys promptly with
gymnema sylyesfre --Nqtnrs

Hogs Can Swim.

There is an old tradition that hogs
can't swim, and on this is founded the
twice-told tale of the devil entering in
TO hogs in the country of the Gadarenes,
causing them to run violently down a
steep bank into the sea, where they were
choked. The idea is that the sharp
cloven hoof of the hog comes up against
his throat in his effort to paddle and
cuts it. All this is bosh Hogs, if
given half choLce, become expert
swimmers. know Of an old SOW eight
or ten years old hat has been kept for

Car Horses,

The usefulness of car horse extends
over period of about five years. Horses
are adaptable to this line of work at the
age of four, and at nine or ten, when in
their prime, they are cast off as worthless.
Such animals are expensive, some costing
as much as 5000 and 5000. When the day
of their usefulness is past they are sold to
farmers, hucksters and others at prices
ranging from $5 to $50. It is said that a
horse which has done five or six years
service before "A car is better adapted to
ploughing than those beasts which have

Peas in the Pod.

The shelling of peas generally falls to
the young girl members of the household.
1t is rather tiresome everyone knows,
especially if the family is a large one.
It may make this little domestic trial
less irksome to combine with it some
times a little harmless romance which
is traditional among the Germans, who,
when shelling peas, watch for the pod
that holds nine perfect peas but it is a
number seldom found. They run six,
seven and eight, but nine is the exception,
so the girl who is so lucky as to find nine
peas in one pod lays it under the doorstep
or gate. The first man who passes over
it will be her husband before peas come
again. This is one of the many little
concC-,s that give little spice to every
day life. The Germans hold that peas
have an alleged virtue in cases of love,
very much the same as the English look
upon the mistletoe. In one part of Bo-
hemia the young maidens make a garland
of five, seven or nine kinds of pea bios
SONS upon which they sleep. The num-
Der always is odd for luck. The dreams
are supposed to come true. Any one can
verify the truth of this little assertion.

Scenery ON a Southern River.

Exquisite bits of scenery will repay a
sail upon the rivers. One view upon the
Sampit seemed especially charming on a
certain evening. The stream turns and
curves into the land; there is formed an
open glade fringed at the waters edge
by sedge, marsh and waving grasses. Back
little space from the river towers a lofty
brick column, covered from base to top
by trumpet vines, which hang their
crimson flowers out full fifty feet in the
air. In the background two giant oaks
form an arch, within whose clear space
are visible the distant waters of Winyah
Bay, and there, as in framed picture, a
ship appeared with all its snowy sails full
set. Around and over all was shed the
tender glow of the evening radiance, for
the sun was sunk low in the west the
breast Of the river mirrored the shades of
the sky-purple, opal and gold, crimson,
orange and blue with feathery flakes of
gray just tinged with pink, seeming like
ashes blown from countless thousands of
roses, incinerated by Oriental suns

a 1t is stated that thirty-three mission
y societies now have workers in Africa
The dark continent is encompassed on
every side, and, like the divisions of an
investing army, these missionaries are
moving toward the centre, and closing
in upon the last strongholds of heathen-
ism and the slave trade. Hundreds of
natives in the seminaries are preparing
to labor as preachers or teachers, and
thousands of children are receiving
Christian instruction. 1t is said that
the Scriptures have been translated, in
whole or in part, into sixty-six of the
dialects of Africa, while the whole Bible
has been rendered into eleven languages,
spoken by multitudes of natives.
